RN,

having worked in federal law enforcement I can tell you the drug capitol of the world is not Bogota or anywhere in South America for that matter. Perhaps at one time but no longer and its been like that for a long time now. Mexico today is the headquarters of the drug trade. Very large amounts (passenger planes minus the seats) of drugs are flown into Northern Mexico where they are off loaded and packed onto trucks headed into the U.S. through the south west border. Mexican gangs control the distrbution of drugs coming into all the major U.S. cities. Mexico may not yet be a grower and processor of drugs like the South American countries but Mexico still does the majority of the leg work, where the big money is. And of course we still consume well north of 75% of the worlds drugs even though we no longer control the majority of the world's wealth.

As far as the license plate, again having worked in law enforcement I can tell you don't want your license plate number on the internet. Motor vehicle information is very easy to obtain, There are car theft gangs who operate by spotting cars & noting the plate number. In Southern California and South Florida this must be very easy given the concentration of Porsche, Ferrari, Lambo etc.
these very well funded guys do a little on line research and appear at your home in the middle of the night to steal your baby often times using a tow truck to make it look like a repossesion and your neighbohrs feeling embarrased for you don't call the police. Sometimes they follow you home too. Enthusiast websites like this one are like a virtual menu for theifs. So don't post your small town name or license plate number.

Information that was only available to law enforcement is now easily accessible on the internet through paid 'subscribtion' services that corporate investigation companies like Kroll and Interfor have access to. And of course if its on the internet someone is hacking into it.

come on guys, knowing that your license plate is perfectly visible to the anyone else on the street when you drive your car, can't you wrap your brains around this - isn't blacking your plate out on line to avoid the small chance that someone might track you down and take your car, the same thing as saying i'm not going to go outside without a mask because someone might be hiding in a tree today with the intent of shooting all the naven johnsons on the planet (assume for a moment your name is naven johnson...) or saying i'm not going to the grocery store because a plane may fall from the sky into the store...

really, if you're that worried - park the car in a climate controlled personal showroom and make sure cameron and ferris don't the keys. and god forbid you ever go outside without taking baby steps, wearing your respiratory mask, sterile gloves and watching out for any falling planes, asteroids, random tree hiding snipers, car thiefs, aliens, gnomes, smurfs, etc. and, oh yeah, stay off the internet!

Don't forget the concerns over avian flu. That scars the poop out of me! At least President Bush has a plan. He thinks we should bomb the Canary Islands!

Good thing they got that al-Zarqawi guy last night. I'll be sleeping a little better tonight.

Interesting thread...

but I have to say, anybody who thinks killing 1 guy is going to stop the "War on Terror" should think again....might slow it down a bit......for awhile. Remember the big chase for Pablo Escobar? Did that stop the flow of cocaine into America? Wake up people......I'm glad they got him, but its ultimate result is not yet known.....

Yes, you are absolutely right about Mexico. People would be very surprised at how uncommon drugs are in Colombia. There are also no car theft gangs here. Often on the street where I live there are no less than 30 military guys with machine guns and a dozen cops standing around. I am not too worried about the car getting stolen.
